This is a place to post limited-time giveaways of full video games that are then yours to keep forever at no cost (i.e. this is not for steam sales, free-to-play games, free weekends, competition giveaways, or free in-game items!)
Please don't repost stuff that's already been posted or stuff that breaks feddit.uk rules (i.e. don't be a dick!)

Because stores typically want your payment methods first, before they let you subscribe or purchase anything, even for "free trials".
According to this article (from 2020) a unique card is not required:
We don't really use credit cards where I live.
Me neither, I think American companies just say "credit card" when they mean any payment card
Yeah but my bank card is still unique and tied to me as a person and my address. I can't really get something anonymous for free like some temporary email provider throwing me a new inbox. We can't even get anonymous prepaid phone SIMs anymore. It's all a contract.
